The data protection landscape in Italy has seen a staggering figure in terms of fines imposed for violations of the GDPR. €145 million for GDPR violation.
An investigation, conducted across Europe, revealed a record year, with the total amount of fines issued from 28 January 2023 to today amounting to €1.78 billion, an increase of 14% compared to the previous year. (Source: DLA Piper 2023)
In terms of the value of sanctions, Italy ranks 4th in Europe after Ireland, Luxembourg and France. An unenviable ranking that should stimulate deep reflection on the security of personal data, especially on the occasion of European Data Protection Day which is celebrated, like every year, on January 28th. The digitalisation of society, the expansion of e-commerce and online transactions, as well as the widespread use of the Internet, are the main trends that have contributed to the exponential increase in personal information shared online.
In order to regulate the sharing and use of this personal information online and protect citizens’ privacy, since May 2016 the European Union has adopted the GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation, which represents the most advanced legislation on the subject. of protection of personal data.
Interzen, aware of the importance of the security and protection of its customers’ data, is constantly committed in this direction by investing heavily in obtaining the most important national and international certifications. Last, but only in chronological order, the ISO27001 certification with its extensions ISO27017 and 27018 achieved in 2023.
The ISO 27001 accredited certification gives the company the assurance that it is following information security best practices and provides independent and qualified control that information security is managed in line with international best practices and company objectives.
This commitment demonstrates Interzen’s resilience and innovation in ensuring a safe digital environment for the ZenShare Suite users as welle as the users of all its Cloud solutions.
Proud not to be in this ranking!
